Question: We are planning on going to Anguilla for a family vacation. Could you let us know about availability from July 23rd to July 31st 2012? We are traveling with 2 kids ages 11 and 15 and would prefer to stay in one room. What are a few good options?

Answer: A few great luxury hotels for families in Anguilla that have availability for your dates of travel are the CuisinArt Resort and Spa and the Cap Juluca. The CuisinArt Resort and Spa has a Beachfront Junior Suite with either 1 king or 2 twin beds with a queen sized pullout sofa bed in the living area. There would be an extra person charge for the 15 year old child of $80 per day, and the hotel would also be able to add an additional rollaway bed to the room if the kids did not want to sleep on the same sofa bed at no additional charge. Cap Juluca has an Oceanfront 1 bedroom patio suite which has a separate sitting area where 2 rollaway beds can be added at no additional cost. The suite has one full bathroom and a second bathroom with a shower. To make a reservation at either of these hotels, simply click on the hotel name link, enter your dates of travel, select the room option, and fill in the booking form. Please fill in the special request field stating that you will be traveling with a two kids ages 11 and 15 so the hotel can properly prepare for your arrival.

Please be advised that the rates, availability, as well as the extra person charges are subject to change depending on the hotel’s policies.

It appears that winter has come early this year- blanketing the East Coast in snow (now turned to a chocolate mess on the Interstates). And you might not be ready for it. (We're most definitely not.) You're in luck. Now is a great time to take advantage of some deals in the Caribbean. Typically, fall is the slow season, and luxury resorts entice visitors with all kinds of special offers. Case in point: Cap Juluca on the serene isle of Anguilla, an absolute paradise and an exclusive one at that, is giving away a free night with the "More Maundays" offer. The newly-renovated resort is located on the powdery white beach on Maundays Bay, and its bedrooms are the pinnacle of luxury with new Stearns and Foster beds and Frette linens, 40” Sony Bravia HDTVs and DVD players, Bose Wave stereos with iPod docking stations, free wireless internet as well as enhanced patio furniture, new towels and new robes. Enjoy FIVE Nights for the Price of FOUR until December 22, 2011.

Cap Juluca knows how to get under our skin. An email landed in our inbox back in January that really got us pondering whether a Caribbean jaunt was in the cards... And now they're tempting us with a special offer of "one more night"-- stay for three nights, get a fourth night on the house; stay for four nights, get a fifth night free. In their words: "Lounge on our spectacular white sand beach and let the tropical sun wrap you in its warm embrace while beach attendants see to it that cool refreshments are always by your side. Enjoy the genuine hospitality abundant in our restaurants, our spa and throughout our intimate and lush resort." Located on the breathtakingly beautiful island of Anguilla, Cap Juluca ranks as one of the top resorts in the Caribbean. The "One More Night" package is the perfect way to shake off the cold and dive into summer. Need more tempting? Just check out the photo gallery.
